Nice plain elegant outfit, again. Nothing special though.

Too many greens
I agree, too many greens, makes the outfit look 'just thrown together'

I never liked the blue coat on her. I don't think the shape flatters her.

I don't care much for this coat, its very wearable but I find it a boring piece especially to a wedding.

Catherine's coat looks like it's a repeat, I'm sure I've seen it before but I can't remember which event she previously wore it to.
I like her coat. It's nice and simple. It would be nice if we could see the dress in full, but it looks good from what I can see. The hat reminds me a little of my winter hat I wore in primary school, but it goes with the rest of the outfit.

She's worn this coat before, but I don't like how it looks this time around.

Many thanks for the information, RoyalDaisy.  The coat seems to be a favourite of Catherine's.

I liked Catherine's coat and accessories except for the hat. The coat, with it's almost light tweed effect looks as delightful as the first time we say it. Her hair was in what is fast becoming her default style of half ponytail with a twist and looked quite elegant allowing us to see her earrings.
But the hat is just plain dull, dark and boring and fades into her dark hair so much so that you can't even notice any shape other that of a muffin top. Any embellishments are not noticeable.
With the sheer number of hats she has in the blue tones, some of which are really quite lovely, I am amazed she chose such a bland offering. In fact I am surprised she even bought it in the first place.

The Duchess looks very nice, but being the old fashioned type of person I am, I think a nice corsage of flowers would have been lovely or a wedding-y sort of hat!

I thought that only family wore corsages - Im v old fashioned and thats how I remember it.
And sadly wedding-y (love that word) hats are not fashionable for 30 somethings.

Maybe that was the point. I think she looked good but it must be hard for the royal ladies to avoid outshining the bride at weddings. I appreciate that she may have been trying not to draw attention to herself.
What I find interesting is that the headline doesn't mention poor Harry.

I am a firm believer that no one can "outshine" the bride! Catherine proved her point when Pippa walked up the aisle behind her wearing a fabulous, knock-your-socks-off, white gown.
But I think trying to look drab and fade into the wallpaper is not the right approach. Weddings are celebrations and yes, Catherine does have more than one hat that we would call "wedding-y".
Just a point, by the time the Bride arrives, the royal party are happily ensconced inside the church and so, no competition. Also, these are their friends and they all know the score. Any society wedding is going to get some coverage and they all live with it.
